SOMETIMES IN DREAMS

Sometimes I dream of monsters.

The like of which you've never seen.

Sometimes I dream of horrors

Obscenities that can't possibly, have been.

Sometimes fear overwhelms me

and continues when I'm awake,

Until I come to my senses

and realise it's just fake.

Sometimes I know admidst the terror

that I am dreaming,

and I will myself to return.

Sometimes I try to move

but am paralysed,

and the sweat begins to burn.

Sometimes I dream of the dead

and they come back to speak,

They're not the least bit frightening

Do you think I am a freak?

The realms of my desires

are the ones you just can't beat

But I wonder what would happen

If ever the twain should meet.
